Depends. That charge will usually only be written in inclement weather after a crash. And if you crashed in foul weather, you're going to have a tough time arguing you weren't going too fast.

You are clearly justified in braking the law,because you have video of other people doing bad things.I say you not only fight the ticket but also sue the police officer and his department for doing this to you.Can you pls send me your video so I can use it the next time I choose to brake the law and get caught.Mmmkay?Thanks!

Did you every get the chance to remove the tinfoil hat from you head and fight this ticket? I would love to hear how this turned out.
That is the pic of the CSC BBQ last week-end..
@My Back hurts,
Take it to court. No cop is going to come into court and testify against you for 10mph over the speedlimit. It's a waste of his time.
I show up and testify for every ticket I write. My theory is I had enough reasons to write the ticket, I've got enough to say what I saw. There's no point in writing it if I'm not going to show up. Remember also, we get paid for going to court. At my agency it's a minimum 2 hours overtime, and they rarely take more than a half hour. $92 to get dressed and talk for a half hour? Sign me up.
I lot of our guys use that to supplement their income. The older guys with families don't write a lot of tickets, the newer guys who want the money do.
Lastly, we can and do get reprimanded for missing court.
Seriously want to hear if the video of him breaking the law helped his case since it also shows others breaking the law.
The whole kids saying, two wrongs don't make a right, comes to mind.
If you're going to speed, don't be a wuss and try to weasel out of it. Man up, take the consequences for getting caught, and move on with life. A perfect driving record doesn't mean a thing.
The only ticket i went to court to fight was a wreckless driving ticket. i was turning left into a school to drop my brother off and my tires chirped just a tiny bit ( i drive a ford ranger with shit tires) on some sand on the street, which is EVERYWHERE in the town of bennett. the asshole adams county cop pulled me over and wrote me a 8 point reckless driving ticket. keep in mind i never went above 20 miles an hour. he also tried telling me my temp tag was expired because he couldnt read my pink temp slip even though my temp tag obviously said june 18th (it was may 4th). to make a long story short, i went to court and sat down with the district attorney and i explained to him and he literally said "this ticket it crap" and proceded to tell me what a moron this cop was. ended up with a seat belt violation
